TRENTON, N.J. (CBS/AP) — A lawyer for an aide fired by Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for ordering traffic to be blocked near the George Washington Bridge says the only credible investigation into the lane closings is being conducted by the U.S. attorney’s office.

Ex-aide Bridget Kelly’s lawyer Michael Critchley casts doubt on the credibility of a report commissioned by Christie that exonerates him and blames her.

In a statement, Kelly’s lawyer says, in part:

“Despite Mr. Mastro’s editorialized comments to the contrary, Ms. Kelly is not a liar. She is a single mother of four children who was deeply devoted and committed to her job at the Office of the Governor.”

“The only credible investigation into the lane closings is being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.”
